Impact: Artificial Intelligence

AI tools have the power to reshape the world on every level, and realizing their full potential requires mobilizing a broad range of disciplines. Determining how technology can best serve, support, and care for society in a hyper-connected world requires global insight. MISTI students combine technical skills acquired on campus with a tenacious desire to comprehend the full implications of innovation to address the challenges and opportunities of the computing age. With students from all five schools tackling projects ranging from researching machine learning algorithms that allow autonomous drones to “think” to employing predictive analytics that optimize robot maintenance, MIT is able to explore new approaches for ethical AI with urgency.
